Default Living in a MESS!!!

We are currently living in a mess while our house is being completely tiled. Mom and I figured since everything is out of the house we may as well also paint the entire house....
WHEW.....hopefully we will be able to move back in completely by the following weekend.
Thank god for doggy daycare....

The entry way to the house....

Hi Angella - you guys are doing more than re-tiling ... looks like a lot of hard work .. make sure to take your union break ... that's a must (edit) say hi to your mom

It's never pleasant when you are renovating, but it will be worth it when it's finished and everything is back to normal.

I see you have been busy busy busy.......I hope it all turns out looking great......We essentially tiled our house with all the furniture being scooted out of the way......painting the same way......Highly NOT recommended way of going about it!

Patrick....I already told mom that if anyone is thinking of tiling their house....the first step is to hire professional movers to move everything into storage....find a camp for the dogs to spend their days and nights....(we have 5 dogs) then move out for 2 weeks....or you could go on vacation.....NOT FUN AT ALL......

Wow, it certainly is all on at your place Angella! We did our remodelling 2 years ago, so I know what its like to be in the mess... not a good place for a clean freak like me... so hard to resist cleaning every 5 minutes... TFS

Oh, Angella ..... sigh. Big sigh. Bigbigbig sigh. I'm sure looking forward to seeing photos of the finished result. Bet you are too! It will be fun to look back at these and have the "before and after" set!

You and your mom are going whole hog it looks like! I can totally relate Angella. Our house is in a constant state of renovation!

Thanks everyone. One question, if you all knew ahead of time what a headache this is....why didn't any of you tell us ahead of time??
